Zephaniah 1
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. This is the word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Sofoniji sinu Husija sina Godolije sina Amarije sina Jezekijina, za vremena Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina.
2 “I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth,”
Sve æu uzeti sa zemlje, govori Gospod;
3 “I will sweep away man and beast; I will sweep away the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and the idols with their wicked worshipers. I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,”
Uzeæu ljude i stoku, uzeæu ptice nebeske i ribe morske i sablazni s bezbožnicima, i istrijebiæu ljude sa zemlje, govori Gospod.
4 “I will stretch out My hand against Judah and against all who dwell in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the idolatrous and pagan priests—
Jer æu mahnuti rukom svojom na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jerusalimske, i istrijebiæu iz mjesta ovoga ostatak Valov i ime sveštenika idolskih s drugim sveštenicima,
5 those who bow on the rooftops to worship the host of heaven, those who bow down and swear by the LORD but also swear by Milcom,
I one koji se klanjaju na krovovima vojsci nebeskoj i koji se klanjaju i kunu se Gospodom i koji se kunu Melhomom.
6 and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of Him.”
I one koji se odvraæaju od Gospoda i koji ne traže Gospoda niti pitaju za nj.
7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD, for the Day of the LORD is near. Indeed, the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has consecrated His guests.
Muèi pred Gospodom Gospodom, jer je blizu dan Gospodnji, jer je Gospod prigotovio žrtvu i pozvao svoje zvanice.
8 “On the Day of the LORD’s sacrifice I will punish the princes, the sons of the king, and all who are dressed in foreign apparel.
I u dan žrtve Gospodnje pohodiæu knezove i carske sinove i sve koji nose tuðinsko odijelo.
9 On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
I pohodiæu u taj dan sve koji skaèu preko praga, koji pune kuæu gospodara svojih grabežem i prijevarom.
10 On that day,” declares the LORD, “a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second District, and a loud crashing from the hills.
I u taj æe dan, veli Gospod, biti vika od ribljih vrata, i jauk s druge strane, i polom velik s humova.
11 Wail, O dwellers of the Hollow, for all your merchants will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be cut off.
Ridajte koji živite u Maktesu, jer izgibe sav narod trgovaèki, istrijebiše se svi koji nose srebro.
12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’
I u to æu vrijeme razgledati Jerusalim sa žišcima, i pohodiæu ljude koji leže na svojoj droždini, koji govore u srcu svom: Gospod ne èini ni dobro ni zlo.
13 Their wealth will be plundered and their houses laid waste. They will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but never drink their wine.
I blago æe se njihovo razgrabiti i kuæe njihove opustošiti; grade kuæe, ali neæe sjedjeti u njima; i sade vinograde, ali neæe piti vina iz njih.
14 The great Day of the LORD is near— near and coming quickly. Listen, the Day of the LORD! Then the cry of the mighty will be bitter.
Blizu je veliki dan Gospodnji, blizu je i ide vrlo brzo; glas æe biti dana Gospodnjega, gorko æe tada vikati junak.
15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
Taj je dan dan, kada æe biti gnjev, dan, kada æe biti tuga i muka, dan, kada æe biti pustošenje i zatiranje, dan, kada æe biti mrak i tama, dan, kada æe biti oblak i magla,
16 a day of horn blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.
Dan, kada æe biti trubljenje i pokliè na tvrde gradove i na visoke uglove.
17 I will bring such distress on mankind that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.
I pritijesniæu ljude, te æe iæi kao slijepi, jer zgriješiše Gospodu; i krv æe se njihova prosuti kao prah i tjelesa njihova kao gnoj.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.
Ni srebro njihovo ni zlato njihovo neæe ih moæi izbaviti u dan gnjeva Gospodnjega; i svu æe zemlju proždrijeti oganj revnosti njegove; jer æe brzo uèiniti kraj svjema stanovnicima zemaljskim.
